Possibly, if:: Your TSH and Free Thyroxine are within normal range. If your physician felt one side of thyroid was somewhat larger than the other but your thyroid Ultrasound is normal no additional studies or treatment is necessary, unless the enlargement is significant and very noticeable. In the latter case a trial of thyroid hormone(thyroxine) may, or may not, reduce the enlargement.
